Many Redditors seem to lack patience. Calling it the worst AMA because there are not many answers after 20 minutes is really impolite. Sometimes I need more time just to write a two sentence email reply. Give Julian the time he needs.

I think it's smart to wait a bit before replying, because there are more comments posted every minute than you can possibly read. So just let the up/down votes filter out the rubbish.

There are many inherent expectations of anyone who offers to participate in an AMA. Some who agree to participate do not understand or fully understand what they are walking into, then there are those who think they are being gracious just by participating. Hence the reactions you see. A few returning AMA guest do become quite adept at knowing what is safe to answer and how to filter chaff

I usually wait for the interesting AMAs to show up on /r/tabled before I even bother looking at them. Much cleaner way to go through them and avoid the clutter.

Well, the answers have been pretty boring so far. IMO.

Woody Harrelson's AMA must be the worst all time - http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/p9a1v/im_woody_harrelson_ama http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/p9a1v/im_woody_harrels...

  At least it was theoretically Woody. The Morgan Freeman was one of the more confusing: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1c5zxh/i_am_morgan_freeman_ask_me_anything http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1c5zxh/i_am_morgan_fre...
